April 2024 - HGSA

by Sener, Saffron

Greetings all, We write with an important message for you all to consider. We have all seen the violence engulfing the people of Palestine, and we recognize the current efforts by our friends and colleagues to hold the university accountable for its culpability in these acts of violence – of *genocide*– against the Palestinian people. In light of the recent events that have gripped the nation and our campus, HGSA has decided to initiate a vote for the graduate community in the History Department to determine whether our organization will sign the Harvard Divestment Letter. Vote here: https://forms.gle/e5HgX87KAWjuUn17A. Please consider casting your vote. *Voting will end on Wednesday, May 1st at 3:30 pm. * You can access the full divestment letter here <http://tinyurl.com/harvarddivestmentletter>. You may also sign the letter as an individual, which you can do anonymously if you wish. Sincerely, *Harvard Graduate Student Association*

EMERGENCY RALLY - Benefits Funds

by Catey Boyle

Hi everyone, I’m reaching out as your union steward with an important update about benefit funds eligibility and some associated asks. As you may know, the union administers a series of benefit funds (including healthcare, dental, an emergency fund, childcare, and more!). In the past year, Harvard has been trying to limit who is eligible to apply for and receive these benefits. HGSU has been fighting hard to push back in weekly negotiations. There was recently a petition distributed regarding this issue as well. The petition was presented to Harvard representatives 2 weeks ago. Although the initial response was encouraging, and there were talks of a compromise, Harvard ultimately failed to change their position on the issue. We have reached a critical point in negotiations and organizing. We need to show Harvard that we’re serious about our benefit funds. We will be having an EMERGENCY RALLY this Wednesday, April 10th at 12pm in front of John Harvard Statue. The more people we get out at the rally, the better. Here are some resources: More information <https://drive.google.com/drive/u/3/folders/1H80sECESyzhi96dql76Tkc12M5cYPcvc> about our fight for benefit funds eligibility: Link to the petition <https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/keep-hgsu-benefit-funds-accessible?sour…> (if you haven’t yet signed!) As always, feel free to reach out to me with questions.
